Book excerpt: "Kent County justly claims the honor of being the most ancient settlement, and of inheriting the oldest organized government, in the State of Maryland... The Kent settlement, i.e. Kent county, originally embraced and included the whole of the Eastern Shore, and was under the government of an officer styled the 'Commander of the Isle of Kent.'" "The early records of Kent County, Maryland, which contain the only memorials extant of many of the first settlers of the Eastern Shore, are time-worn, mouldering, falling to pieces, and in a few years will become illegible, decay, and be lost. Upon their faded and perishing pages are chronicled some of the acts and doings of good men who have gone before us-whose graves are unknown-whose tombstones have disappeared-and whose names are forgotten, or are no longer mentioned among men." To preserve this precious history, the author has "endeavoured-with the light afforded by ancient Tombstones, Wills, Parish Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths, and the assistance of friends and their family annals-to connect, genealogically, the first settlers with their children-the present generation-and to weave, as it were, a living garland around the crumbling monuments of the dead." A wealth of names and dates pepper the pages of this book. Extracts from legal documents and an index to full-names, places and subjects index add to the value of this work.

This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissolution of the ill-starred Virginia Company in 1624 left Virginia -- now England's first royal colony -- without a formal raison d'etre. Most historians have suggested that the nascent local societies were anarchic, under the thrall of violent and unscrupulous men. James Perry asserts the opposite: The Formation of a Society on Virginia's Eastern Shore, 1615-1655 depicts emergent social cohesion. In a model of network analysis, Perry mines county court records to trace landholders through four decades -- their land, families, neighborhoods, local and offshore economic relations, and institutions. A wealth of statistics documents their development from rudimentary beginnings to a more highly articulated society capable of resolving conflict and working toward communal good. Perry's methodology will serve as a model for analyzing other new settlements, particularly those lacking the close-knit religious bonds and contractual foundations of New England towns. His conclusions will reshape notions of the development of early Chesapeake society. Originally published in 1990.

Download or read book The Atlantic Economy and Colonial Maryland's Eastern Shore written by Paul G. Clemens and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, cash grains were introduced on Maryland's Eastern Shore and eventually replaced tobacco as market crops. What factors brought about this shift from tobacco production to diversified agriculture, and what were its effects on the people living there? This book charts the early social and economic history of the Eastern Shore, focusing on the ways in which Atlantic commerce shaped the lives of English settlers between 1620 and 1776. Professor Clemens is concerned with the relationship between changes in society brought about by local economic circumstances and those created by international market conditions. He also points out the distinctive balance between commercial agriculture and self-sufficiency farming that was achieved on the Eastern Shore. Offering a new perspective on early American history, his book not only depicts the growth of a particular region in colonial America but places that growth in the broader context of both the Atlantic market economy and the economies of other English New World settlements.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland's Colonial Eastern Shore: Historical Sketches of Counties and of Some Notable Structures, Illustrated The principal reasons for my determination to publish this book are as follows: First: There seems to be a demand for a publication of this character. Because the average Marylander is unfamiliar with the geography and history of this part of his State. This applies to residents of the tidewater as well as of the interior sections of Maryland. While residents of each county are more or less familiar with the geography and history of their particular county. Their knowledge of other counties is often very limited. And it is hoped that this book will be of use and permanent value to those Who are interested in these subjects.

Book excerpt: In An "Uncertaine Rumor" of Land, Jenean Hall reveals the sequence of events that led to a permanent English settlement on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The setting places us in the midst of the Virginia colony's struggle to accomplish demands as outlined in the Virginia Company's Great Charter of 1618. Fallout from this charter displaced some colonists and created a great burden on others, especially in the port settlement known as Elizabeth City (today's Hampton). One displaced colonist sought a new home, only to be displaced again because of the Company's demand for iron. Hall shows how such events played a role to bring John Blore and his new bride, Frances Lake, to Virginia's Eastern Shore to become its first permanent settlers. The Blores were soon followed by John Wilcocks whose small plantation developed as an overflow from the unexpected crush of people at Elizabeth City. During this same time, the eastern shore's fertility and beauty attracted the colony's Secretary Pory who placed a contingent of men on land between the Blores and Wilcocks. This ordinary progression of settlement was shattered on March 22, 1622 (n.s.), when mainland tribes of the Powhatan Confederacy attacked the mainland plantations and killed a quarter of the colony's European population. The ensuing fear and chaos prompted the Virginia governor and council to search for safe, inhabitable places. Under the governor's commission, the former governor, Sir George Yeardley, took several vessels of people to the Eastern Shore where he and Thomas Savage, an interpreter, negotiated for land with the eastern shore's Indian leader, a man known as the Laughing King. Yeardley was working toward developing a new, larger plantation off the Ackomack River when he was suddenly ordered to stop work. However, eyes had turned eastward and many liked what they saw. Most important at this time, the eastern shore's native people were welcoming and peaceful. European settlement on Virginia's Eastern Shore began to thrive. A rare treat in colonial Virginia history, this book tells an extraordinary story that hasn't been heard before now.
